Are you ready to have a BALL? Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s welcomes returning guest, comics industry maven, professional nerd, and furball expert, Jann Jones to discuss Critters 2. Cashing in on the Gremlins creature feature craze, Mick Garris’s 1988 follow-up to Critters, is truly a peek ‘80s trash experience with its ferocious man-eating balls, intergalactic bounty hunters, a Crite-killing centerfold, EDDIE DEEZEN appearance, and of course – the star of the movie, a mega Critters Ball.
